Can PC be related to any environmental factors?

I work down in a 50+ year old basement building. Including myself, 5 out of 13 men have prostate cancer. This seems abnormally high. I'm concerned that something environmental may have attributed to this.

I have seen statistics that half of all men aged 50 have PCa, whether they know it or not. If your group's average age is about that, then those numbers seem reasonable, especially if your workplace is hot on men's health.
